Michael Gray , Edinburgh, United Kingdom

I am an enthusiastic, mindful and inquisitive Software Engineer and Product Manager with a rich and varied technical background.

I’m noted by my colleagues for bringing a sincere and contagious passion to my work, naturally influencing and leading those I work with and striving for excellence in all my responsibilities. My technical experience allows me insight in to the effects of high level decision making, while my creative skills give me a keen eye for design and execution.

My keen sense of humour and personable nature means I intuitively encourage empathy and comprehension amongst those I work with, striving to defuse potentially difficult situations before they occur and excelling at selling ideas to often resistant audiences. My background in mathematics affords me acute logical reasoning and analytic skills when posed by difficult decisions or problems and my cross-functional experience has rounded my knowledge and honed my deeply ingrained organisation abilities.

I can normally be found taking copious notes wherever I go, asking awkward questions and making people smile.
